The German Giant

Highlights of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen's Prepress Business Unit, Heidelberg Prepress, included processless thermal technology, halftone proofs from the plate recorder, future applications of PDF and the pre-controlling of print production. There seemed to be particular interest in the enhanced Trendsetter CTP solutions the company has developed in conjunction with its Canadian joint-venture partner, Creo Products. Also, Heidelberg Prepress presented version 5.5 of Delta Technology, which promises to optimize the CIP3 workflow.
